A patriotic finish and Myrtle Beach, NC

 Pattern from Lizzie Kate.

With July 4th around the corner this will

be added to the display.

To all the soldiers who have given their

life or served our great country, Thank you.

 Myrtle Beach, NC

I took my nephew Ryan for this 6 day

trip.  I have never been there before and

miss the beach.  What a beautiful clean 

beach.  The water was so warm and the

weather was perfect.  We ate way to

much but also walked close to 10 miles

a day.  I lost weight on the trip.  We went

to the Carolina Opry and it was great.

We also went to see Josh Turner.  

Lots of fun and had such a great time.

I spoiled my nephew and i am sure he

will remember all the great things we

did.  How nice i could treat him to a

great vacation.  It was a joy and honor

to do that for him.

The birds were so cute.  When the water came in 

they would run away from the water.

 Can you see the happiness and joy.

 I feel so small around my nephew.

He is almost a foot taller then me.

 So many places to eat.  One of the locals

suggested the giant crab.  Awesome buffet

The crab legs and prime rib were worth

it just for that. 

Oysters on a half shell, so yummy.

I miss the great seafood.

July is right around the corner. Time

just flys by.  I hope everyone is enjoying
the Summer.

A couple of finishes - Can you believe it is June already

 I moved the last week of May.  I downsized

from a 3 bedroom home with a garage to

a 2 bedroom apartment.  I am on the 2nd

floor and when i sit on my balcony I have a

view of the smokey mountains.  It was the 

best moved i could have done.  I have 2

huge walkin closets.  They are filled to the

brim.  It is very hard to consolidate.  We

think we have nothing until we move.  I

owned a house for the past 27 years.  I had

no idea if this would be good.  But I have to

say I do not hear any noise at all.  I like

they apartment better then any house I

owned.  Its a great fit for me.  Things 

might change in the future but for know

i am very happy where I am.  Not much

stitching in May.  I did finish 2 sweet

lizzie kate pieces.  Both are from tiny

tidings.

 After the big move, I will be on vacation for

the next 2 weeks.  It just so happened to work 

out that way.  I have to book my vacations 6 

months in advance.  Gods timing is perfect.

I took the time to finally join some friends

at the Tennessee Theatre.  Shame on me for

not going sooner.  I have been here since

Dec. 2012 and it took me this long to go.

I have been to many Theatre's in Manhattan

but this is the most beautiful one i have ever

stepped in.  The detail and restoration they

did on this place is amazing.  The first 

monday of each month there is a free 

show.  They have organ music and a 

performance of some kind.  This month

they had a group called Nostalgia, a

bunch of local singers.  What a treat and

did i say FREE.  I will definately attend

more events.

What a blessed group to be with.  We all met
at the Theatre and enjoyed the day.

I hope everyone is enjoying the Summer season.

I always do.  I will be heading to Asheville, NC

tomorrow and to Myrtle Beach, the 3rd week

of June.  Happy Stitching.
